Job description:
You're an experienced front-end designer/developer who would like to work with us on a full-time (40 hours/week) basis. You're going to be joining a small, but excited crew of workplace wellness technologists doing some interesting stuff to change workplaces. When you join our team, you'll be working side-by-side with some of the smartest folks around, and developing your skills (and probably making everyone around you smarter, too).You would be working closely with our development team here in Edmonton on some of the following types of projects:Product Planning: You will be responsible to create low fidelity wireframes to help in the design and planning of new features. You'll have a lot of flexibility, and a lot of input in what we will be building, and how our users will interact with our suite of features, be it biometric screening, analytics, or our interactive workplace wellness portal. We love wireframes -- we'd love to see some work that you've done before.User Interface Design: We feel strongly about good design, and we'll need your help to make sure that the way we build features is strongly aligned with best practices in user experience. You're going to be our local expert, and you'll need to spend some time looking at other products in the wellness space to make sure we're creating the best experience possible. This means you know your way around Photoshop, or other web design tools, like Macaw or Sketch3.Prototyping: We're a startup, right? So, everyone on our team has to be ready to prototype. To guess, and test hypotheses. You, with your focus on front-end technologies, can rapidly put ideas to screen, and help drive the development of new ideas and features for our platform. We really need someone who can listen to an idea, and begin to immediately flesh it out using design. Perhaps you use tools like Twitter Bootstrap, or your own wizardry in HTML and JavaScript.Front-end Development: You better be passionate about technology if you're applying for this job. We've got other smart people here, but you're going to own the user experience, which means you need to be owning part of the technology stack as well. We're pretty centered on a few key technologies, like AngularJS, and we also work with many of our customers using Microsoft SharePoint.We'd love for you to be passionate about design, and creating outstanding user experiences.We work out of Unit B, on 104th Avenue in downtown Edmonton, and we like to work as a team - face-to-face tends to be easier.With your submission, please include samples of your work -- we want to see your design mockups, your wireframes, your information architecture docs (we just want to get an idea of the quality of your deliverables). And, don't worry if you don't meet ALL of the requirements. We hire for people, not necessarily roles.
